MONO2K 1.6

MONO2K 1.6 for the M-VAVE FM-1: a pixel font of its own, every knob a picture, a track's chance, the FM-1's load.

A new type and knobs as pictures: the screen's type is MONO2K's own pixel font, one weight, crisp at whole scales. Every knob shows its value as a picture after Elektron's pages: a dial, a slider, an envelope or filter shape, a wave, a boxed choice, with its name under it; turn it and the value shows in its place. Rounded bars and tags.

HOME 2: press HOME again for the track in view's sequencing: TLEN (its own length), SPD, PROB and LANE.

A track's chance (PROB): every trig on the track plays with this chance, 100 % down to 0 %, on top of its own step condition. Patterns made before stay at 100 %.

The FM-1's load: GLO > PLAY shows CPU, CPU2 and DROP; when the sound runs short the screen says CPU FULL. A heavy pattern shows how close it is before it breaks up.

A lighter engine: a little less work a sample, the sound the same bit for bit.

A pattern using PROB opens only on 1.6 or later; every other pattern loads as it played.

• File: mono2k-1.6.fwsc, identity FM-1_980, SHA-256 b7e8a45a3928a339494d713d142b547feb5a1568dd94b23efc37580efb044187 (the same file as the installer's).
• Install: from the FM-1 Firmware Hub or the installer page, over USB in Chrome or Edge. Coming from 1.x, your patterns stay.
• Leave it: install any other firmware as usual; MONO2K starts its update loader (Felucca's). Holding OCT− while switching on always reaches the updater.
